The staff at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens are officially on “Bloom Watch” for the corpse flower Romero.
Hours have been extended until Midnight through bloom time. The corpse flower smells like rotting flesh when it flowers. The smell attracts pollinators to the bloom.
It’s hard to know when this mysterious plant will bloom, but the experts think it will be in the next few days.
Here’s a live feed of the flower, that runs when Phipps is open to the public.
